The 2000 Chevy Corvette normal operating coolant temperature is 195 degrees. You can install thermostats that will allow the coolant temperature to only run at 180 degrees.
Drain radiator RE-fill slowly to prevent and "air lock" Run vehicle to normal operating temperature with heater on Check coolant level
Open drain plug at lower end of radiator Run engine to Normal operating temperature with heater on -no higher When draining stops -- close drain plug Refill radiator slowly to prevent system from becoming "airbound" Start vehicle - bring up to normal operating temperature with heater and re-check coolant level
200 degrees to 220 degrees
drain out coolant to a point were hose is clear, remove hose then replace,add coolant to bring up to normal level...will loose a bit of coolant but not much!!
Approx 200 deg F
We are having the same problem on a 2000 Corvette, were you able to figure it out?
The flasher unit on a 2000 Corvette is built into the emergency flasher unit in the console.
if you modify the frame it will

Pressure test system to see if leak is external Could be internal i.e. leaking head gasket Run engine to normal operating tempertaure then pull oil dipstick and allow a drop of oil? to fall onto a hot engine part -- Oil will smoke coolant will sizzle
Normally 180 On hot days it might go to 200
